During that same five-year period, the budget for the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration has declined by $12 million. Deeper cuts to the agency’s budget and other safety programs were proposed for FY 2017 and 2018. After sustained and targeted advocacy by National COSH, local COSH groups, unions, worker centers and allies, however, a bipartisan majority in Congress agreed to avoid drastic cuts and maintain level funding for OSHA, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the U.S. Chemical Safety Board, and OSHA’s Susan Harwood Training Grant Program. " Who is most at risk? Tens of millions of workers in the U.S. suffer from unnecessary risks in the workplace because employers fail to observe well-documented safety practices. Some groups of workers, however, are more at risk than others. Latinx workers, immigrants, older workers and contract employees face particular challenges in the workplace and in 2015 each group counted for a significant share of U.S. workplace fatalities. " 95,000 Deaths form Long-Term Exposure In addition to more than 5,000 deaths from acute workplace trauma, an estimated 95,000 workers die annually in the U.S. from cancers, respiratory and circulatory diseases and other illnesses associated with long-term exposure in the workplace. " Flavoring Chemicals – A Hidden Danger Flavoring chemicals used in food production are among the lesser-known hazards to workers. These substances can cause severe lung damage and have been linked to hundreds of injuries and at least five fatalities. The chemical diacetyl and related compounds are unregulated, and exposed workers are frequently misdiagnosed. National COSH and partner organizations are working to alert employers, union workers and health professionals to the dangers of flavoring chemicals. " The Dirty Dozen National COSH solicited information from our network of health and safety activists about companies that put workers and communities at risk. Criteria for inclusion included severity of injuries to workers; exposure to unnecessary and preventable risk; repeat citations by relevant state and federal authorities; and activity by workers to improve their health and safety conditions. Companies are listed in alphabetical order, with location as the firm’s headquarters of record. 3 THE DIRTY DOZEN AMAZON JK EXCAVATING Seattle, Washington Mason, Ohio ● Seven workers killed at Amazon ● 25-year old Zachary Hess buried warehouses since 2013 – alive in December 2017. including three workers within five ● OSHA cited JK Excavating, a repeat weeks at three separate locations offender, three times in 2014 for in 2017. failure to protect workers from ● Despite a pattern of preventable trench collapse. deaths, Amazon is requesting billions in tax breaks for a new headquarters, on top of $1 billion already received from state, local LOWE’S HOME taxpayers.

Zachary Hess, 25, was buried alive in a trench in Mason, Ohio – after his employer had been cited for failure to protect workers from a trench collapse.

GRETCHEN WHITMER, et al., Civil Case No. 20-13134 Honorable Linda V. Parker Defendants., and CITY OF DETROIT, DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE, MICHIGAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY, and ROBERT DAVIS, Intervenor-Defendants. _____________________________________/ OPINION AND ORDER This lawsuit represents a historic and profound abuse of the judicial process. It is one thing to take on the charge of vindicating rights associated with an allegedly fraudulent election. It is another to take on the charge of deceiving a federal court and the American people into believing that rights were infringed, without regard to whether any laws or rights were in fact violated. This is what happened here. Case 2:20-cv-13134-LVP-RSW ECF No. 172, PageID.6891 Filed 08/25/21 Page 2 of 110 Individuals may have a right (within certain bounds) to disseminate allegations of fraud unsupported by law or fact in the public sphere. But attorneys cannot exploit their privilege and access to the judicial process to do the same. And when an attorney has done so, sanctions are in order. Here’s why. America’s civil litigation system affords individuals the privilege to file a lawsuit to allege a violation of law. Individuals, however, must litigate within the established parameters for filing a claim. Such parameters are set forth in statutes, rules of civil procedure, local court rules, and professional rules of responsibility and ethics.

    The Prophecies of Q American conspiracy theories are entering a dangerous new phase • Story by Adrienne LaFrance • Illustrations by Arsh Raziuddin • June 2020 Issue If you were an adherent, no one would be able to tell. You would look like any other American. You could be a mother, picking leftovers off your toddler’s plate. You could be the young man in headphones across the street. You could be a bookkeeper, a dentist, a grandmother icing cupcakes in her kitchen. You may well have an affiliation with an evangelical church. But you are hard to identify just from the way you look—which is good, because someday soon dark forces may try to track you down. You understand this sounds crazy, but you don’t care. You know that a small group of manipulators, operating in the shadows, pull the planet’s strings. You know that they are powerful enough to abuse children without fear of retribution. You know that the mainstream media are their handmaidens, in partnership with Hillary Clinton and the secretive denizens of the deep state. You know that only Donald Trump stands between you and a damned and ravaged world. You see plague and pestilence sweeping the planet, and understand that they are part of the plan. You know that a clash between good and evil cannot be avoided, and you yearn for the Great Awakening that is coming. And so you must be on guard at all times. You must shield your ears from the scorn of the ignorant. You must find those who are like you.

  • From Bandannas to Berets: a Critical Analysis of Beyoncé's “Formation” Music Video by Kesha Shalyn James a Thesis Submit
    From Bandannas to Berets: A Critical Analysis of Beyoncé’s “Formation” Music Video by Kesha Shalyn James A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Communication Auburn, Alabama August 5, 2017 Keywords: Beyoncé, Formation, Black women, Black music, Black culture, media representations Copyright 2017 by Kesha Shalyn James Approved by Susan L. Brinson, Chair, Professor of Communication & Journalism George Plasketes, Professor of Communication & Journalism Kevin Smith, Associate Professor of Communication & Journalism Abstract The release of Beyoncé’s “Formation” music video as well as her debut performance of the song at the 2016 Super Bowl has incited debate and controversy across the United States. While some feel empowered and prideful, others are angered and outraged by the lyrical and visual messages Beyoncé communicates in this mediated text. Applying a critical/cultural studies perspective lens, this study explains how Beyoncé challenges the sexist and racist dominant ideology in the United States. Critically analyzing the visual and lyrical composition of “Formation,” this analysis interrogates the messages of both race and gender as well as the representation of Black Women. The findings indicate a direct challenge to white androcentric power as the visuals and lyrics re-appropriate stereotypical images of Black Women, thus demonstrating Black Women’s power and dominance in society. The implications of explaining the ways in which Beyoncé communicates what and how it means to be a Black Woman in “Formation” inform and explain the social, political, and economic reality of Black Women in the United States today, as mediated texts re-present everyday reality.
